Sustainable rural development has become one of Indonesia's priority agendas in achieving equitable development and improving community welfare. In the Society 5.0 era, rural development is not only oriented toward technological utilization but also emphasizes collaboration among stakeholders in addressing social, economic, and environmental issues. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Collaborative Governance as an approach to sustainable rural development in the Society 5.0 era. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through library research. Data were collected from scientific journals, books, government reports, and policy documents related to Collaborative Governance, rural development, and Society 5.0. The findings indicate that Collaborative Governance enhances the effectiveness of rural development through synergy among village governments, communities, private sectors, academics, and civil Society organizations. Such collaboration contributes to improved public services, local economic development, sustainable natural resource management, and digital technology utilization in supporting village development. However, the implementation still faces challenges, including limited human resource capacity, inadequate digital infrastructure, and suboptimal stakeholder coordination. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity and increasing community participation are necessary to achieve sustainable rural development effectively.
